Have you tried Lunch Money (https://lunchmoney.app/)? I found it through HN. I've been very happy with it.

I think their discord community can help you with your specific questions.

Yep, water looks to be a huge issue. The video(https://vimeo.com/938795435) in this article(https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/teslastoppen-elon-musks-water...) helped me better understand what's going on.

> the factory used almost 450,000 cubic meters of water, while it is licensed to use up to 1.8 million cubic meters, equivalent to the water consumption of a city with a population of 40,000 people.

> residents will only be allowed to use 105 liters of water per person per day, while the national average use is 128 liters per day.

I dunno. I switched over to https://lunchmoney.app/. But it was so frustrating wading through all the bad search results to find it.

When I search for "mint alternative", the first links are from reddit, which is pretty easy to spam.

The second looks like a parasite article. It is paid content from some Taboola company. It's difficult to tell who is making the money. Did some affiliate publisher pay for Taboola Turnkey to run their article on Time.com to take advantage of their domain authority? Or is Time.com itself making money off the affiliate links?

The ranking of their top product recommendation has switched between Empower (which pays at least $100 per lead), and Quicken. Currently Empower must be paying the most as it is listed as best, but a few weeks ago it was Quicken.

I'll be watching this keyword to see if the results page improves. Been really frustrated with Google results lately.

Seriously. Here is a thread of a person tracking the changes of supermarket prices in Austria: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@badlogic/111071396799790275

Building a food price database is not something that one could easily do from the looks of it.

Not particularly appealing for someone dealing with the [Marikio Aoki phenomenon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariko_Aoki_phenomenon).

Walking into a library and smelling old books triggers the urge to defecate for me.
